SOCIAL CUSTOMS.
Regard for Each Others Welfare the Very
Essence of Genuine Courtesy.

Regard for Each Others Welfare the Very
Essence of Genuine Courtesy.
1t is not uncommon to find persons
who in their practice of etiquette and
social customs will strain at the gnat
and swallow the camel" They are
rigidly punctilious rs to the use of the
fork in raising food to their lips, and
never the knife. and just how to place
knife and fork when done eating, and
other such points, but they will violate
the most common rules of syntax in
their speech, with a continual free and
easy defiance of the most elementary
principles of grammar, so that we are
obliged to ask: How can children ever
learn correct speech while they are
hearing such barbarisms, such abuse
of language continually poured out by
parents and guests at the table and
elsewhere? In the name of reason, is
not principle of grammar or rhetoric
as important as the mere custom of
etiquette?
As TO the modes of courtesy between
individuals we need to remember that a
spirit of kindness, of tender regard for
each others feelings and welfare is the
very essence of genuine courtesy, with
out which the forms of etiquette are
merely hypocritical and hollow-heart-
ed.
An incident very significant is re-
lated of the good Prince Albert, the
husband of Queen Victoria. On one
occasion he had as guest at dinner
au old gentleman who used the knife
in eating instead of the fork. He had
been accustomed to do so. The chill
dren at the table noticed it, and there
was little sensation among them,
which Prince Albert with q look
quietod, and at once took his own knife
and used it in the same way to the end
of the dinner He did this so that his
guest might feel at ease in his
presence. This was genuine
courtesy. 1t was true heart politeness,
this thoughtful consideration of the
feelings and comfort of his guest, that
kind of politeness which is immeasur-
ably above any mere form of etiquette.
1t was characteristic of the grace and
kindliness of his character. We thank
him for this example, and if our social
usages were pervaded by the same
spirit we should be the better and hap
pier for it
The use of the knife in eating in a
decorous manner without unseemly
haste is not an offense. When will
young ladies learn that bad grammar,
the use of such phrases as lust lovely, "
lust splendid" and the list is long
one, is an improperly far more
ridiculous and hurtful in its influence
| than the decorous use of the knife in
eating can be?-C Christian at Work.

MONSTER BONES.

Stories of the North-Kemsins OF . Grea<
Extinct Rhinoeeros-.Cfaws- Used for
Bows
In the folklore of many of the tribes
that live along the borders of Northern
and Eastern Asia are found tales quite
as marvellous and wonderful as those
handed down To the boys and girls u
the warmer and more civilized coun-
tries of the South, IN which fairies. he
role giants and gods are the prineips:
figures-the offspring of vivid tropical
imaginations. But in the tales related
to the children of the far-away ice
country, the main characters are gi-
gantic animals and monsters of strange
appearance; and as the Northern story
tellers are not noted for their imagina-
tive powers, we are led TO look
for some solid foundation of fact
upon which the originators of the
myths must have built their wondrous
tales. The Chinese legends abound in
dragons and unicorns: and in Canton.
to-day. may be purchased dragons
bones and teeth which form part of
the regular stock of the native drug
gists.
In the Chinese Repository" is
quotation from Ii She Chan, the auth or
of Chinese medical book He says.
concerning dragons bones:
THE bones are found on banks of
rivers and in caves of the earth. places
where the dragon died, and can be col
lected at any time"
In the far North. dragons bones,
were very common. bat they were
usually considered there to have be-
longed to gigantic birds. To prove
their belief, the natives showed the
claws. three or four feet long. Of these
monsters. which. if they had ever ex-
isted, must have far exceeded
in size the roc of the Arabian
Nights. Quaint tales of these
were told or winter evenings. perhaps.
to native boys and girls; and little
reason had the children to doubt them.
for the claws were so plentiful that
their fathers used them. n the Chuk-
ches of Eastern Siberia do strips of
whalebone. ter make their bows, which
they use for huntiag, more elastic.
Finally, an English naturalist, while
studying Chinese folklore, made the
discovery that the dragons bones and
teeth were no more nor less than the
remains of great extinct rhin0ceros.
Soon after. scientist travelling in
Northern Siberia heard the natives
talking about the gigantic birds have
just mentioned, and being shown

FACTS. ABOUT SILVER.

Some Famous Mines.
Silver, next to iron and gold, is the
most extensively diffuSed metal upon
our planet 1t is found frequently in a
natural state, though never chemically
pure, being invariably mixed with gold
or copper, or sometimes antimOny, al
senic, bismuth, quicksilver or iron. 1t
is distinguished by its wilderness, its
brilliant luster when polished, its NAL
Liability and its Indifference to atmOs-
pheric oxygen. 1t is remarkable for
its beauty and is ten times heavier than
water. 1t does not appear to have been
in use before the deluge. Moses does
not allude to it before that event; but
mentions only brass and iron; but in
Abraham's time it had become COM
mon, and traffic was carried on with it,
and its value was eight to one of gold.

bought a Sepulcher fol. his wife, Sarah,

a New York Solomon.

The following is told of New York
Judge before whom a man was being
tried for stealing the gold watch of a
woman as she was taking a street-car.
The neatnesS of the examination will
remind the reader of Oriental stories.
The man declared that the watch
was his. and the woman was mistaken
in identifying it as hers, Suddenly
the Judge asked: where's the key?"
The prisoner fumbled in his pockets.
and said he must have left it at home.
The Judge asked him if he had wound
the watch frequently with the key. and
he said Yes"
Then key was procured, watch and
key were handed the prisoner, and he
was told to wind the watch. He
opened the case, but could not find
any place to use the key, because the
watch was stem-winder.
The sentence was five years and a
half Youths Companion.
